As far as putting it above the anti squat line Dan?
Yes, shorter and above the N/L will hit the tire harder initially which will likely be what the car will want. The question becomes how hard the initial hit can be before wadding the tire up and how much you can control with the shocks. In very general terms, low powered cars like to smack the tire hard. By low powered, I mean less than 800-900 hp.
Today I finished up the rear suspension. I found that with my modified suspension I had to get longer adjuster bolts for my upper control arms. I set up the angles so I will be a little above the neutral line and we will see how it likes it. I switched the tires back to my street tires and also clearanced the wheel wells a little so the slicks should clear now and not rub the body when turning and getting body roll.
The one engine upgrade this year!
You are a very perceptive one Phil!
So is this going on the 409 stroker build 
Nope replacing my home made intake on the 380.
Good choice Nate.
Thanks Dave. I just can’t get it out of my mind that even though my homemade one does work it isn’t giving the motor a nice even fuel distribution being it is a modified dual plane.
You went right up to the top shelf Nate.
Hey good looking.
That shinny shaft looks like some kind of import ricer parts. What the heck are you building anyway? (I'm Jealous)
I agree Dave! Randy I’m just trying to be proactive and build things up and replace weak links before I break stuff. It’s easier to fix it before it breaks and takes out 3 other parts too.
There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over......
Well there is time to do it right Dave it’s called winter time! Or more recently quarantine.
